Pros

Good location from NY Metro Area Not a lot of pressure No accountablity

Cons

-Salary and Comp are 20% to 30% lower than similar firms -Getting business requirements complete / understood by IT is a challenge -Technology Items that are core in other firms have to be funded by individual business owners and therefore never get funding. -Sr. IT management lacks strategy and direction -CIO barely speaks English and her people are frustrated. -Each department is run as a separate unit with no cohesion or best practices, when I moved from department to department, It is like I have a new job however, all moves are treated as lateral.
